Here's a quick piece by Joe Gandelman, When Dumb Political Activism Attacks linking to Citizen Smash's post on some unwelcome political email regarding Iraq.
In December I did a post on hyphy and ghost riding, Hyphy is a new San Fran form of rap music. Ghost riding is a stupid and dangerous activity I basically denounced. A week later I received an email from a female twenty-something music marketer asking if I wanted to live stream Rap music through my blog.
Truth be told, I won't name names as I have no desire to embarrass the young girl, or her employer - she has a hot pleasant MySpace page I visited. Were I ten ... okay, twenty years younger, you might all be listening to streaming Rap.
But, if you are going to Google and mass email bloggers to sell whatever it is you're selling, it might be wise to read them just enough to know you aren't completely wasting everyone's time.
But in lieu of that, as a male blogger, sending along a little eye candy is at least a welcome and greatly appreciated twist.
And, who knows, how hard can it really be to configure?
